November 2024 Gaming
With Bottoscon at the beginning of the month, you knew that November would be chock full of gaming goodness. And it was! Maybe not quite as much as might have been otherwise, since we missed a Sunday game day and the next one had… Continue Reading “November 2024 Gaming”
New Garphill Games Kickstarter – Cards! And Other Things
(Edit: It appears that the promos in the 5-Year Anniversary Pack for Shipwrights of the North Sea are direct reprints and not compatible with Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux. Still, it’s only 9 cards and the rest of the promos in that batch… Continue Reading “New Garphill Games Kickstarter – Cards! And Other Things”
Friday Night Shots – Top 1000 BGG Games
I know what you’re thinking. Two Friday Night Shots posts in a row? That must mean Dave got the jukebox fixed! It’s amazing what paying your work people can actually do. Maybe that’s why I can’t keep a bartender? Anyway, welcome back! Pull up… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Top 1000 BGG Games”
Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?
It’s been a month and the bar’s been closed! More renovations needed (and I’m just lazy, actually), but I’m glad you happened by and could stop in! The jukebox renovations took up most of the month, partially because I kept forgetting to pay the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?”
New to Me – September 2024
This post has been a bit delayed, for reasons. Some of those reasons were me killing a whole bunch of Greek soldiers in Ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which is super-addicting right now. The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”
July 2024 Gaming
It’s hard going back to work after a month off. It’s been a really tiring week, so much so that I will not be posting my “new to me” games post until at least the weekend. But I did want to get my July… Continue Reading “July 2024 Gaming”
Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire
Reading the description of Ezra & Nehemiah when it first hit Kickstarter, I was intrigued. If you read this blog for more than just one or two posts, you know I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and the games designed by Shem Phillips… Continue Reading “Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire”
Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?
Two bar visits in a row? That’s a rarity in 2024! But I’m happy to have you come in to have a drink and talk about some obscure boardgame topic that my mind has come up with. I appreciate you indulging me, and I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Should You Learn a Game Before Trying to Teach It?”
New to Me – June 2024
May was a really boring month for new to me games, so much so that I was wondering how I could correct that for June. How about seven? No, that’s no my winning lotto number, though it should be. That’s how many new games… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2024”
Friday Night Shots – Box Size Preference – Room for Expansions?
Yes, the bar is still open! It’s just been under renovations for the last…month, I guess. Hopefully they’ve fixed that jukebox so that it stops playing shitty music. Anyway, welcome back! I’m happy to have you stop by, have a drink, and talk a… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Box Size Preference – Room for Expansions?”
